Overview

The official blender.org embeds a Python interpreter (CPython 3.x).
This makes sense from the perspective of a user, who's primary needs are to have an application which can be extended with scripts.

However from the perspective of a Python developer, it can be useful to being Blender into your existing scripts and access its feature set.

The option to build Blender as a Python module is not officially supported, in the sense Blender.org isn't distributing it along with regular releases,
Currently, its a build option you can enable, for your own use.

Rationale

This is a build option to be able to import blender into python and access its modules
